KwaZulu-Natal Education's Muzi Mahlambi says they will beef up the security and offer counselling to pupils and staff.

"We have already arranged that they will be seen by our psychological services unit from the Pinetown District so that they can be debriefed of what they saw happening at the school. Come tomorrow, we will be able to stabilise the situation," said Mahlambi.

"We will not force issues, because this is a sensitive matter that we are dealing with," he continued.
